Chapter 335

"Hayato-kun's movements look quite professional."

Nijika looked at Ishikawa Hayato in surprise. His movements were steady and efficient, and the bowls and plates were arranged perfectly. He looked even more imposing than the waiters in the high-end restaurants she had been to before.

"I learned it after watching it once. I even wondered when I'd have a chance to try it out. It's quite fun."

After returning to his seat and taking a sip of tea, Ishikawa Hayato began operating the equipment.

He placed slices of premium beef on the hot plate, sizzling as he did so. He wasn't in a hurry; he took another sip of tea and pressed the beef down with his chopsticks.

The others found his calm and composed demeanor strange, and then they remembered something from the summer. Nijika and Ikuyo even got off the table and went to the food cart to start rummaging through it.

"What's wrong? Are you hungry?" Ishikawa Hayato asked.

"Hayato-kun, where did you hide the candy?"

Nijika's expression was serious, yet tinged with a hint of mischief.

After flipping the beef over, Ishikawa Hayato thought for a moment before speaking.

"Oh, right, Hitori, could you take that box of candy out of my luggage for me?"

"You actually brought it?" This time, the two were dumbfounded.

Hitori blinked in surprise; she had no idea about this, but she still obediently got down from the table to get it for Ishikawa Hayato.

After all, some things are definitely safer in your own hands.

After a while, the girls watched speechlessly Hitori came over carrying a small box of candy.

"You weren't checked at security?" Ryo looked at Ishikawa Hayato in disbelief.

Ishikawa Hayato smiled, picked up the grilled beef and the king oyster mushrooms that were added later, put them into each person's bowl, and then squeezed a lemon on their beef.

"It's done baking, enjoy!"

After dinner, the food cart had been moved away, and the girls lay lazily on the beds and sofas.

"Mmm... so relaxing after soaking in the hot springs and having dinner... so relaxing, but..."

As Nijika spoke, Ikuyo in pitifully.

"You'll gain weight."

When Ishikawa Hayato came out of the hot spring, he heard them talking like that. He went to the bedroom and picked up his phone to check it.

8:42 PM.

He came out of the bedroom.

"It's not a good time to go out, it's a pity we just ate. Otherwise you could go up to the open-air hot spring and soak in the water while enjoying the evening view. The spa downstairs is still open, you can try it if you want."

Liang wriggled up from the bed in the other bedroom and walked towards the suitcase beside the bed.

Her calm tone seemed to carry a hint of pride. "Bringing the PS4 wasn't a waste."

Nijika's thoughtful expression turned to helplessness as she stood up and made way for Liang.

"It actually comes in handy..."

Ikuyo stood up with great interest and asked the group, "I've never had a spa treatment before. Does anyone want to go?"

With someone accompanying her, Nijika made up her mind and said...

"Hmm... I'm also somewhat interested."

However, as she spoke, her gaze lingered on Ishikawa Hayato, as if confirming his thoughts.

"I also plan to go," Ishikawa Hayato immediately stated.

Hitori glanced at the cooler who was connecting the PS4 to the TV and asked, "SPA is...?"

"Simply put, it's a massage, but don't worry, the staff here are all older women," Ishikawa Hayato said.

"Hmm..." Hitori hesitated. Even as a woman, she found it difficult to accept physical contact with a stranger. "I'd rather stay with Liang Sang..."

"I'm going too." After receiving the PS4, Liang immediately betrayed Hitori.

Hitori glanced at the others, closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and said, "Then, I'll go too."

"Don't push yourself, you'll scare your older sister."

Ishikawa Hayato patted her head playfully.

Beside him, three people stared at him with incredibly sharp eyes.

As they rode down in the elevator, Ikuyo asked, seemingly casually.

"This is my first time doing this, I'm a little nervous. I wonder if we can all do it together?"

Ishikawa Hayato looked up and thought for a moment, "I don't think there are any rooms big enough for five people, are there?"

Ryo didn't mince words with Ishikawa Hayato; he asked directly.

"There are definitely rooms available for two people. Who would you like to share with?"

Ishikawa Hayato then pretended to know what was going on and asked with a smile, "How about we play rock-paper-scissors, a three-person room or a two-person room?"

This is perfectly fair, and none of them had any objections.

"Rock, paper, scissors!"

In the elevator, they reached out their hands.

"It feels so good~ I feel like my body is melting. That lady's hands are so strong, it's giving me a tingling sensation."

Nijika lay lazily on the bed and said.

Beside him, Ryo also affirmed, "Yes, the inn's hot springs and service are quite good."

There were only the two of them in the room. After the staff finished serving them, they told them they could rest for as long as they wanted, then locked the door and left.

After finishing their spa treatments, Ryo contacted Ishikawa Hayato next door using his phone. They all agreed to linger a little longer before leaving.

Since you're here to relax, just enjoy it.

In a room filled with incense and soft music, two young girls lay on the bed. Their fair skin appeared slightly yellowish and oily under the light.

The beautiful colors accentuated the girl's delicate and varied curves, and her languid posture was breathtakingly beautiful.

After several hours of travel, I soaked in a hot spring, enjoyed delicious food, and had a spa treatment.

Nijika felt like she could fall asleep at any moment. She glanced at Liang beside her and saw that Liang had already closed his eyes. Her mind was filled with many thoughts, and she waited a while before speaking softly.

"Cold?"

"Um?"

Liang made a nasal sound and moved her body slightly.

Nijika was somewhat surprised, yet not entirely unexpected.

"You weren't asleep."

"I was woken up, what is it?"

Liang half-opened his eyes and lazily looked at Nijika.

"Then..." Nijika hesitated for a moment, "You said they... would do it over there..."

"Very likely," Liang said decisively.

Nijika quieted down again.

A barely perceptible wisp of white smoke drifted from the incense beside the bed.

Nijika opened her mouth several times and then closed it again.

Liang waited a while and then closed her eyes, but her tone was casual.

"Anyway, tomorrow is just the two of you. Do whatever you want. I'm going to sleep now. I'll have Falcon carry me back later."

Nijika was somewhat moved at first, but the later revelation of the true intentions left her stunned.

"Hello!"

She lowered her voice and complained.

After another ten minutes or so, Nijika felt that she was really going to fall asleep if she lay down any longer, so she got up.

She nudged Liang, but this beautiful girl in other people's eyes was like a dead pig to her, fast asleep.

She left the room with a look of disgust, closing the door behind her. Then she went to Ishikawa Hayato's room and knocked on the door.

In no time, Ishikawa Hayato opened the door, wearing only shorts and his chest exposed.

"Are you going back?"

"Um."

Nijika nodded, her gaze lingering on his chest for a moment before quickly shifting away to look around the room.

Surprisingly, both Hitori and Ikuyo were lying peacefully in bed, and there was no strange smell in the room.

"If we don't go back soon, I'll fall asleep here," Nijika added.

"Yeah, I took two naps just Hitori," Ishikawa Hayato said with a smile.

Nijika smiled confidently.

"Was I woken up by Ikuyo-chan?"

Ishikawa Hayato smiled without saying a word.

Nijika pointed to her room again. "There's someone over there who's already asleep; you'll have to carry them back."

Ishikawa Hayato chuckled, scratched his head, and turned to go back to his room to get his clothes.

Inside the elevator, Ikuyo stretched and raised her slender hand, her wrist, still slightly oily, like a tender bud in early spring.

"Hmm... my body feels light and limp~"

"It's almost 10 o'clock. Go back, pack your things, and then go to rest," Ishikawa Hayato said.

He didn't carry Liang. He had just gone over there for a while, and somehow, Liang walked over on her own.

And he didn't get angry, or react differently.

Nijika deduced that Liang was definitely pretending to be asleep when he spoke to her.

"Well, I'm completely relaxed today, tomorrow..." Ikuyo hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said to Ryo and Hitori.

"Let's just the three of us go have fun tomorrow! We'll explore Beppu!"

"Don't want."

Liang rejected her suggestion without hesitation for even a second.

Ikuyo immediately turned her tearful gaze to Hitori; for her, a trip without companions wasn't a trip at all.

"Um... I want to... I want to rest here..."

Ikuyo collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted.

Ishikawa Hayato could only manage a forced, secret laugh.

Back in their room, they didn't plan to do anything else and went straight to sleep.

However, this room has two bedrooms.

This hot spring inn features a modern Japanese style with a natural wood color scheme.

The two bedrooms each have doors that open into the living room, and there is also a door between the bedrooms.

You can walk around the three rooms in just a few steps by circling the central wall.

In the two bedrooms, one has two separate double beds, and the other has two double beds pushed together.

When Ishikawa Hayato returned to the bedroom, he first went to the double bed that had been put together and measured the distance.

"It's a little small, but it's enough for five people to sleep in..."
